Hanes. It was addressed to Shuttlesworth and Phifer at the City Jail. It read: “Ordinarily I do not carry on correspondence with jail btr^, however In as much as you in sist on extraordinary people,' 1 shall treat you as extraordinaty jail birds. “This letter is to acknowledge receipt of your ridiculous so cniled petition and to let yoi know that action is being taker immediately, that H, to throw i! in the wa.ste ba.sket. “My advice to you is to do the best you can on K.

False Packages ing Grocery Shoppers More by CHARLOTTE G. MOULTON WASHINGTON (UPB —Gro cery shoppers might enjoy lower prices if manufacturers stopped packaging so much air and pli- mlnnated odd-shaped containers, a college economifs professor told senators last week. But an advertising consultant suggested that housewives might have to pay an extra $1 billion a year if merchants were requir ed to stamp the price-per-ounce on food and other items sold in super markets. “It is logically possible that it might cost her more to be pro tected in this way than It does now to be confused,” testified Charles L. Whittier of South 'Portland, Maine, an advertising consultant and former president of Young and Rubicam Adver tising Co. STATE OFFICHRS OF CROWN AND SCEPTER CLUB — From left to right are Vice Pres.

Need Action Against School Bias NEW YORK (UPD—The at torney for Englewood, N. J. Ne groes in a school segregation dispute said Monday that similar action may be taken against schools in Long Island and other New Jersey communities. Attorney Paul Zuber filed suit in Fpderal Court in Ne wark, N. J. last week charging that Englewood had Gerryman dered its housing areas to create de facto school segregation. New Jersey’s "neighborhood school” policy requires students to at tend schools nearest their homes. ' S Department of Agriculture rft ' search report • “Resource Re- ' nulrements on Farms for Specified Operator Incomes.” A.s a result of the findings, budgets are presented in this re port for eight types of farms in 15 areas, showing resources that would be needed to provide operator earnings ranging from $2,500 to $.'5,500. Gross sales on farms budget ed to provide the operator with earnings of $2,500 range from $9,275 On a Minnesota dairy farm to $26,454 on an Oklahoma cotton, wheat fram. And a Mississipr> delta cotton farmer, for example, would need to raise 26 acres of cotton and 91 acres of soybeans, em ploying a capital investmpnt in land and equipment of $28,751, in order to have gross sales of $9,924 which would bring him lafbor earnings of $2,500.

Negnroes Should Plan For Diplomatic Life WA/SH,INiGTON (UPI) — As sistant labor secretary George L. P. Weaver said Saturday night more young American Negroes should plan careers in interna- tional affairs, with particular BJttphasis on the newly emerg ing nations of Africa. In a speech prepared for de livery at a banquet of the Na tional Alumni Conference of the United Negro College Fund, he .“iaid; “you must make every ef fort to encourage and to pre pare forward - looking, Interna tionally - minded young men and young women who are eager and capable of serving our num'ber of farms with gross, povernment and international sales of $10,000 increased by 36 organizations both here and percent between 1954 and 1959, | al'road.” $5,500 range of operator earn ings on budgeted farms, it takes from about $3 to $11, or an average of $5 in gross sales to provide the farmer with $1 in labor earnings.

There now, however, are signs of peace, he added. “I feel,” he said, “that most of the legislators feel we must Jieti_JKe_caimot»- see-shall, .not permit thfs state’s school system to deteriorate.” The legislator v|?ed the stu dents to register for voting as ■soon as possible. “A citizen who does not take part in voting is not a citizen in the truest sen.se,” Boothe said. Boothe struck out at Virginia’s poll tax, saying it “has led to real corruption in voting pro cedures while campaigning un successfully as a candidate for lieutenant governor In last year’i Demorcratic primary.
